So on Tuesday the week got a little more interesting. Ummm so the walls in our apartment are peeling pretty badly, and we have always thought it was because of the humidity here, but on Tuesday we found out the real reason why. So there's is a pipe in a wall in our bathroom, and a plumber believes it has been leaking for about 2-3 years which caused the the walls to peel, and this week it decided to finally make itself known. So water started flowing out of the walls in our bathroom and after we turned the water off it still flowed for a good 5-6 hours after. So there went our entire Tuesday, mopping up water and constantly drying all the towels in the apartment, but don't worry we got it under control. We just have to turn the water on and off every time we need to shower. So there were also several plumbers that came to inspect our apartment, and they have all said it's pretty bad,so we don't know whats gonna happen next, but we know for sure will have to move out for a week or 2 while they fix it. One guy said the project would need to be done by the top plumbers in Hong Kong haha. They only have to tear down like 4 walls that's not that bad right? yeah good stuff. (We never moved out they just patched the pipe and never fixed the wall lol! They eventually moved to the Kwun Tong apartment)
Saturday was also another crazy day in Hong Kong. They had an entire Hong Kong youth activity called mini MTC, where they all get assigned a language to learn for a day, go to some trainings, and go on splits with the missionaries. It was a lot of fun going on splits with the youth, and 2 of the 3 I was with were the only members in their families. So powerful and it was a lot of fun. I also got to see some of my buds from Tuen Mun Lok Yuen and Jason, who I missed a lot!
And then there was Sunday, where we had a special conference with Elder Soarres of the Presidency of the 70 and for some reason they decided to have it in Ho Man Tin instead of our stake center in Kowloon which was a little interesting, but anyways that was a great way to end the week. Got to talk to Elder Soarres for a second, and Elder Wong who is going to be the Mission President in Vancouver, Canada, so this was his last time speaking in Hong Kong before he leaves, it was powerful. Sunday night we also ate dinner at the Woo family from our ward. they invited 10 missionaries to their home for dinner and it was good. Also gotta see some missionaries who used to serve in the mission. a lot of fun.
This week should be pretty good as well. My buddy Jason has his baptismal interview tomorrow and should be baptized on Sunday, so it should be good! Also we were able to meet with Terrance who was the guy who walked into sacrament last week. The first time we met with him we taught the restoration and really accepted it. We invited him to read and pray about the Book of Mormon just like every first lesson. For the second lesson me and Elder stone planned to read a chapter with him and discuss what he liked, and when we asked him if he had read he was like "yeah I read all of 1 Nephi" me and Elder stones were like Really??? Yeah he's the most solid person I have ever met. He also went all the way to Ho Man Tin for Stake Conference. Man this guy is so ready, so super excited to keep meeting with him!!
Love you all and thanks for the support!!
